Crazy Mixed Up Cucumbers

When I was in college my parents bought a fixer upper houseboat. It was complete dump. But they were able to renovate it and make it really cute. They named it the Chumbucket. We spent most our time for many summers up on the houseboat. My husband even proposed to me there. We don’t have it anymore, but I was doing some reminiscing lately. One of our favorite snacks while our on the lake was what I like to call Crazy Mixed Up Cucumbers.

My in laws had just given us a whole bunch of homegrown cucumbers so I knew I wanted to make a batch of these delicious cukes to munch on during this hot weather.

The recipe is so simple: sliced cucumbers, lime juice, and crazy mixed up salt. So when I decided I wanted to make them, I added Crazy Mixed Up Salt to my grocery list. Have y’all ever had this stuff?? My mom used to get it all the time! Well, guess what. That dadgum stuff is almost impossible to find. However, you can find it on Amazon! I mean did anyone doubt that it would be on Amazon? I didn’t want to wait two days for it to arrive (I know, major first world problem), but luckily my mom had some. So I whipped up a batch of Crazy Mixed Up Cucumbers and have been munching on them for a refreshing snack.

Now, if for some reason you can’t find the salt or don’t want to purchase off amazon, regular sea salt will do. But it’s worth looking into getting yourself some crazy mixed up salt. Because it’s so good on just about anything (okay, maybe not anything but you know what I mean).

Crazy Mixed Up Cucumbers

First thing you will want to do is slice up your cucumber. Then squeeze the juice of one lime all over those babies. Finally, sprinkle with a generous sprinkle of salt. I typically don’t measure, just shake shake shake (T. Swift anyone?) the salt container. But I normally use around 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon. Depending on how big my cucumber is or how salty I’m feeling.

So easy, so simple, and so delicious. Crazy Mixed Up Cukes are the perfect summer snack. Especially out on the lake, or at the beach, or the pool, or even your backyard.

Now I need for y’all to tell me if you find Krazy Mixed Up Salt out there in any stores because I need to STOCK UP.

While you are slicing up cucumbers, you might as well go ahead and make my Corn, Cucumber, and Avocado Salad. And since you will probably need some protein to go with these sides, go ahead and whip up a batch of my Ranch Cheddar Burgers. Now you have the perfect summer time meal going on!
